Sponsorship Information

Ignite Charlotte showcases a diverse selection of talks by members from the Charlotte community. The event draws 300+ people from all corridors of Charlotte, representing an 18 to 50+ years young audience.

Ignite Charlotte is a yearly event organized by dedicated volunteers and sponsored by local community non-profits, businesses and entrepreneurs.

100% of the sponsorship funds and ticket sales go to costs associated with leasing the venue, security, insurance, production equipment, printing materials, event related supplies, and other costs, including food and beverage for volunteers and speakers.

FAQ’s:

Can sponsors give away promotional items or product samples during the event? Yes for Icebreaker & Platinum sponsors. Other sponsors can provide handouts that will be placed on our Ignite Charlotte information table. We can go into further details later.

How about “VIK” sponsorship? We look forward to having value-in-kind sponsors that can help us with venue rental, meals for speakers and volunteers, printing services, hd video cameras and/or camera operators, two wireless mics, a confidence monitor, and/or tables and chairs should the need arise. Contact us to work out the details.

Can sponsors get reserved seats for their friends and co-workers? We plan on setting aside reserved seats for sponsors as referenced above. A “Reserved” sign with the company name will be placed in either the first or second row of the center section located in front of the stage or, based on the selected venue, in the best viewing position possible.
